"A World-class teacher!! Katya, you help one think out the box for each specific posture. I learned so much. Excellent course!"

Erin Milwidsky – Biokineticist

"The course is interactive, challenging, exciting and so appropriate for health care professionals. I started to incorporate her methods and techniques at our Bio practice and had wonderful feedback and results. Thank you for your patience, guidance, hospitality."

Rae Sandilands – Sport & Movement Development Specialist

"Very thorough and hands-on! Such an inspiring teacher with so much experience and knowledge."

Conrad van Breda – Pilates Teacher / Musician

"A detailed and extensive course that looked not only at exercises but also at the “why”, “where” and “how” of each movement, addressing all aspects from postural efficiency to teacher practice. Well-presented and effective hands-on training. This course has the potential to change your entire outlook for the better."

Dr. Frederick Marais – Public Health

"Learning, laughter & knowledge for life! Highly recommended course!"

Jackie Wells – Physiotherapist

"Katya has really made Pilates come to life for me - incredible knowledge, applicable to my physiotherapy practice immediately. Her instruction is amazing and she makes complex concepts easy to understand. I came away with a new passion and desire to incorporate Pilates into my practice."

Deirdré Brown – Physiotherapist

"Very clear instructions, brilliant teacher. I have learned so much in just two months and will definitely recommend this course to my colleagues."

Ali Williams – Personal Trainer

"The course was much more in-depth and intense than I was expecting. Katya demands the highest standard by encouraging debate, discussion, and stimulates the thirst for knowledge by always providing a new direction for self-study and self-development. An outstanding course- the best I have attended in my career in the fitness industry."

Melissa Brown – Registered Naturopath

"Excellent understanding of the needs of our group. Drawing out our strengths, allowing us to grow as individuals. The interesting blending of other complimentary Body Works into the course structure, giving us the real-life teaching experience."

Jessica Rickards – Critical Care Nurse

"This course felt like a fun educational journey for body and mind. The correct use of muscles for each exercise, local and global anatomy all was explained clearly. Exercises were broken down to help each one of us to really gain connection in the body. Incredibly enjoyable course, fantastic teacher."

Roché Crafford – Physiotherapist

"It was a very practical course. All theory was presented in a user-friendly way. The manual was very clear and easy to use. Excellent presentation."

Sam O’Connor – Biokineticist

"I have received really good feedback from clients using Katya's methods and cues etc. Her approach involves observing postural patterns with the intention of correcting the imbalances through the selected exercises. Pilates Academy SA respects Pilates as a rehabilitative tool as opposed to just a class you do at gym."

Sarah Kelly – Physiotherapist

"I have learned a phenomenal amount. The broken-down beginner options for all the exercises are very helpful to be able to build a client up to each exercise. I have been challenged physically myself and now I am able to safely challenge my clients."

Karlien Hauman

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Katya's instructions and explanations, anatomical knowledge and application of exercises to various body types are excellent. She really taught me to look at a client as an individual and really think of the reasons (the "Why") for each exercise as applied to an individual.
